For many people the week that went by gave nightmares for many others it just took them for a roller coaster ride, then there are those who were no where near the amusement park. I hope you know what I mean. Here are some images that the week left for us to remember in laughs, tears, anger, smiles and disappointment.

The poet never lies during Ramadan. Daytime fasting,nighttime praying, life is going well these days and I have no complaints aboutit at all. Well as I cannot tell a lie or write a lie or look at women in a badway most of my usual entertainments are out. Hehehe… Yes, this one month noentertainments. So I posted some picture blogs. Lot ofpeople viewed it and left, some left comments. Well I did not sleep last night,so, as sleep is consuming my mind, I told myself, I must write, write somethingfrom my life. Something that is real in all its content. Nothing fabricated in the mind based on real events. So I took an event from my own life that happened at about nineand half years back. It took about 18 minutes for me to write this into thecomputer. So let me know if any corrections can be made. Poets who writepoetry, poets who wrote poetry and abandoned it, poets who are thinking ofwriting poetry… come on tell if I am wrong. If I did a great job with a sleepymind…. Then I must be sleepy all the time hehehe

Enjoy.

I believe many of you have seen on T.V what is happening in the country of Georgia in Eastern Europe. I have heard the western T.Vs, Radio stations and News Papers saying the Russians are going back to their imperial past. I know a lot of Russians the modern day Russians are really friendly people and I couldn’t believe that they will support any Russian administration to go back to their dark communist/soviet past. As where I live I get almost all channels from Eastern Europe through Dish Antennas, I saw the following program on Russia Today. Watch this carefully and pay very close attention to the details. You can see the other side of the whole conflict. It will clearly tell you why the Russians behaved so aggressively at the Georgians. Keep in mind war is ugly and some part of this following video is graphic in nature. Viewers discretion is advised. If you want to reload the video just reload the page for some reason the controls on the Video is not showing up.

ACity of Desolate Mothers

Nothing to say, Nothing to write, Nothing to show…

mmmmm maybe myself to show

This picture was taken couple of months back when waiting for a call I fell asleep and my brother took the picture.

Who will be the last one to enter heaven? Now here is something to think about….

Every sinner should pay a price and God always keep tabs of things done, the good, the bad and the evil things humans do. After the day of judgment many go directly to heaven, many go to hell forever, then there are those who did good but did many sins too, they will go to hell first to face punishment for the sins they did and once they finish the punishment they will be taken to heaven. What about the last one to exit hell? Well for that person will pray and pray to God even when he is in hell to help him. Eventually God will tell him, “Okay, I will get you out of here, but don’t ask for more” God gets him out of hell but asks the angels to leave him right outside of it. The place right outside of hell is not so great, because of  the brutal heat and dirty things happening in hell, the surroundings are pretty nasty. The last one is not satisfied with this at all as the last one notice, far away it is visible there is greenery but none can’t reach that place. The last one will start praying again to God and after long long prayers God ask him “Now what?” The last one says, “Just get me to that green place, here it is not much better than hell”. God says “Sure, but don’t ask for more” God commands angels to get this person to the greenery, which is the outside part of heaven. Still the last one is not fully satisfied as from there one can get a feeling of the heaven, but can’t reach heaven at all. The curious last person to exit hell want to know what it is like in heaven but no way can reach heaven. The last person again starts long long prayers… after a long time God will ask “I told you not to ask for more and here you are with hands stretched at me, tell me what do you want? The last one says, I want to just go and sit at the those magnificent gates that’s all, God grants the wish and the last one now sits just outside the Gates of heaven. Sitting there the last one can hear all that is going on in heaven but the last one is not at all satisfied. So the prayers starts again and God asks him, What now? “I just want to know how it is there just want to go into heaven see things there and then get me out of there and bring me back here” God says “Okay, that is reasonable” God tell Angels to let this person and show the first part of heaven. After seeing everything the person was brought back to the gate. Then the person tells God I have one last request, can I just sit here right inside the gate? God says ” Sure” but this time the person was fully satisfied and sits there with a heart filled with joy. Then God says as you are satisfied now here is an offer what about every luxury that was on earth with all happiness on earth with no pain or sadness forever. The person says with a heart filled with thankfulness “Thank God, I am all thankful to you” Then God says, as for the thankfulness, multiply what I offered by ten.
  Thats what the last person to enter heaven gets. Now imagine the ones that goes before that last person. But what one should get from this, first of one should be satisfied with what one gets, then one should be thankful for what one got. These two will get one more than what one wishes for.

Here are some images.

Crap More And Save Earth And Money.
San Antonio unveiled a deal on Tuesday that will make it the firstU.S. city to harvest methane gas from human waste on a commercial scaleand turn it into clean-burning fuel.
      San Antonio residents produce about 140,000 tons a year of asubstance gently referred to as “biosolids,” which can be reprocessedinto natural gas, said Steve Clouse, chief operating officer of thecity’s water system.
       140K tons of crap? That’s a whole lot of Crap. hehehe, what about the fart, is there anyway one can save it in some can or something like that. See those people who crap 140K tons a year should be farting a lot too.. Daaang I sound nasty now.

I don’t know how many of you come to the front page of my site these days. Those who comment just come from the sub page to the post and leave. I have added a small Video box on the left hand side of the xanga front page. Just come to www.poetrybox.us and scroll down a bit you can see the box. When I am online you can see me…in my room where I sit and write, talk on the phone, watch T.V,listen to music or I just talk to myself if there is none to talk to.hehe. Those who have me on IM can come online and chat with me. I cando the LiveCast from anywhere, it means I can use my Treo and do theLiveCast too. You can see the difference from the quality of the videoor the writing under the video that says “LoinelyPoet’s Live Webcast(itmeans I am using my PC)” or it says “LonelyPoet’s Phone LiveCast”(it means I am using my Treo to do the LiveCast) The Treo cast is not good in quality as the camera is not that good. Anyway don’t get scared seeing a big headed poet cracking his head to write hehehe… and these days as it is Ramadhan I am fasting too so I don’t open my mouth a lot.

Laugh a lot if you can seeing my gestures. Long time back before I started the Xanga I had something called ‘LonelyPoet’s Poetry Workshop’ where one can see the whole room all the time. People come write comments like, we love the furry bear( I was fatter, with lot of hair and unshaved most of the time).. hehehe…. I am going to leave now leaving some pictures from China… the photographer Jason Lee did a remarkable job with the camera. Some pictures, hold a thousand lines of verse in them.
